Admission:

Eligibility of the course is quite simple only 55% marks are needed in the science group in 12th standard and the application form is not provided offline. You can only apply online via tngasa a government website for all government colleges. The admission process i good and no problem can be faced but there is a simple issue of finding the places inside the campus and it is quite hard for us to know the place of the Admission process because for every department different places will be there for the admission.
